A St. Clair County case involving a Michigan political family is moving toward trial this summer. Kellie Lauwers, former treasurer of the Yale Chamber of Commerce and wife of State Sen. Dan Lauwers, is accused of embezzling more than $30,000 from the organization. Prosecutors say she wrote checks to herself, forged signatures, and altered financial records to hide the activity. A jury trial is now set for July 7th. A plea hearing is planned for June 29th. If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison.
